Ninja - Foodi 10-in-1 XL Pro Air Fry Oven

I just bought this and it arrived today: Ninja DT201 Foodi 10-in-1 XL Pro I bought it bc I watched a bunch of reviews on air fryers and it’s what looked like the best one out there for what I needed - large capacity and fast cooking time.

We have the Ninja dt201 and we LOVE IT. We've been using it and not taking proper care of it since it first came out. Some of the writing came off the buttons but it's obvious what they do after you press them lol. It's not that easy to clean. And if you aren't careful you can get food in the buttons. But it's awesome. We keep one of the included trays on the bottom shelf to catch drips which helps keep it cleaner

I have a pretty good air fryer oven, the Ninja Foodi XL . But I hear people who have stand alone air fryers claim they are not the same. Was looking for feedback on people who have used both and would you recommend having both? Or is the air fryer oven sufficient?

Mine is Ninja, There is one big fan in the back

My air fryer oven takes a minute maybe to preheat , at least according to the oven its big but not even close to a regular oven

This is the one I have DT201 . Its a 10-1 .

I have a Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 XL Pro Air Fryer. Anyone can chime in if this is relatively low on forever chemicals? It’s an oven style air fryer, glass cover, and stainless steel (insert rows are also stainless steel). The only nonstick part is the removable baking trays which can be replaced by aluminum baking trays (eg Nordic ware). https://www.ninjakitchen.ca/products/ninja-foodi-10-in-1-xl-pro-air-fry-oven-zidDT201C

I'm a big fan of my Ninja Foodi XL. I use it 99% of the time for air fry, but I have also made really quick pressure cooked soups, stews, slow cooked chili and even made yogurt just so I could try it out... not too shabby to be honest.

My Ninja Foodi XL 10 in 1 is pretty badass, but I only have an old TFAL actifry to compare it against.

I can’t tell you why.. it’s been very reliable and versatile.. I can easily put whole chickens in there and haven’t been limited by basket size whatsoever.. I’ve used it to pressure cook soups in about 45 mins… my sons like using it when I’m at work over the oven for all kinds of things..

See I would think this is the answer when I look at them myself but it never shows up on websites best of lists. I'm confused as to why not

Yes, the Ninja Foodi is one of the best air fryers. It has great feedback and reviews.

Same, I did just purchase a stainless steel pot because my nonstick coating was starting to chip. Otherwise the things been trouble free.

Ninja Foodi, has an air fryer function built in that works great

Ninja Foodi!!

Love my Nina foodi, aside from the size of it

I love my Ninja Foodie, not only is it a fantastic air fryer, it has so many other functions that I use

We got the ninja foodie and got rid of our slow cooker.

I just bought a Ninja Foodi, love it

Ninja Foodi I love mine so much.

I didn’t get it from Costco, but I really have enjoyed it. It is a huge pain to clean. So if that’s an issue, stay away. I have limited counter space. So that was worth trying it out back when it was on sale at Best Buy. I love its versatility. And it’s cooked pretty well for me.

True. But wouldn't that be a problem with most toaster oven air fryers? Another thing that I read about is that it might not cool things evenly, since the fan is on the sidez and not the top. But I guess that's something you need to experience with

I did, and I found out after buying it that it's not the version you can open from the back so that was a bit of a bummer. But overall, we use it almost everyday and barely using our oven since we bought it. We flip it all the time and it does save counter space. But as mentioned by others it is very hard to clean so I just gave up at some point. I'll probably get a bigger one once we feel like upgrading.

La peor opción Compré un horno Ninja airfryer 10 en 1, al usarlo quedé encantada pero conforme pasaron los días se fue dañando el interior, ya que el todo el recubrimiento interior metálico, presenta corrosión, tal como se puede observar en las fotos adjuntas.  Hice mi queja y después de mucha insistencia me hicieron el cambio por otro, según ellos nuevo, sin embargo, al poco tiempo volvió a presentar el mismo daño. Manifesté una vez más mi molestia y la compañía simplemente dijo que ya no tenía garantía, no le importó buscar la razón por la que presenta por segunda ocasión el mismo daño el horno que compré.  No pretendía que me lo cambiaran, pero sí que por lo menos se preocuparan de decirme que buscarían que sucedió con mi horno, o verificar los materiales que están utilizando en el equipo, que evidentemente son de de pésima calidad.  Ahora mi preocupación es que las condiciones del equipo puedan dañar mi salud y la de mi familia.  No lo recomiendo ni por equivocación 

It’s a bitch to Clean/keep clean

I used to, got rid of it after a year and got a traditional air fryer and never looked back.

Glad to see this and I wanted to echo the same. We’ve had our Ninja Foodi for 6 years and use it 2x a week at a minimum. It will die eventually, but I definitely feel it’s a worthwhile buy.

My Ninja Foodi came with a non-stick pot, but I bought a replacement stainless steel pot on Amazon. I also replaced the non-stick rack with stainless steel. If anyone is concerned about the inner pot it’s easy to replace. Worth a little extra investment to protect our birds.

Same here. Just buy a replacement pot and the problem is solved.

Ninja Foodi which is both. Both things are very nice to have and very different, to be honest.

I just bought one at Costco on sale. So far, I absolutely love it !!! Some say that it's hard to clean, but I honestly find it quite easy to wipe down after each use. I take a soft cloth, and put it into a bowl of very hot water \*(with a tiny drop of Dawn Dish Soap mixed in) and wipe down all sides of the oven with it twice. I then rinse out the rag, and wipe it down again with clear water to rinse it off properly. It does take a bit of effort to clean it after every use, but I know that a few minutes of my time will keep grease from building up a layer, which would make it much harder to clean down the road. \*(I always clean it when the unit it is still a tiny bit warm. I wait for the HOT symbol to disappear, and then I clean it a few minutes later.) It is very quiet, and gives fabulous restaurant style cooking results every time.

Ninja Foodi! I, too have a very small kitchen and I use my ninja every single day. You can cook just about anything you want in it. I don’t even own a microwave anymore because it’s just as easy to use the Foodi for everything.

Ninja foodi is amazing. I love the pressure cooking/steam and crisp for frozen chicken breasts, slow cooling big beef roasts on sale, air frying frozen processed foods like nuggets etc etc It can be a little annoying to clean but it’s worth it. My most used household cooking appliance by far

I’ve never had any problems with any of my Ninja products (bullet, double stack XL, or slushi), but I will say that their instructions are more detailed than most, plus obviously they are more expensive, but I think that has to do a lot with product reputation.  The only thing I don’t like about the double stack is that the top rack is so narrow. After finding[ this thread on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Competition-5766/comments/1i5jdq2/air_fryer_models_comparison_spreadsheet/) and comparing the different Ninja models, I think that the Foodi might be a better fit for me. I thought I’d share, though, as you can compare all the different brands.

A little late to this party, but Ninja Foodi(I think) changed my life. Air fryer, saute, slow and pressure cooker all-in-one

A word of caution on Ninja, we have a foodie xl and after 2 years needs replacement parts (grill, pan, and basket). The cost to replace these parts is nearly equal to buying a new unit.

I just got the ninja foodi and it's been great so far.

I love my Ninja Foodi air fryer

I have a Ninja Foodi 10 in 1 and love it. I love the fact that it has so many functions like a pressure cooker, an air fryer, and so much more. The size of the air fryer is small, but it’s enough for my family and I. It’s the perfect companion to my Thermomix!

Coming back. As someone with two ninja foodi's and have recommended them for about 2 years now. Mine died just recently at the 2 year mark and they wont do anything about it. I have the big one remaining with the thermometer and I hope it lasts.

I love my ninja 10-1 air fryer. It's a toaster oven, a mini oven, an air fryer, a broiler, and more

I think we have the ninja foodie 10 in 1 oven thing and we've only used our real oven like twice since we got it and that was entirely because the pizza was too big. There's something great about being like "yes, cook my burrito at 400 for 29 minutes and then shut off" that makes it so useful. Well setup food and not worry at all about it being done because it always is. There's even a thermometer and a setting system to get the internal temp to a preferred temp. "Is that chicken juicy or raw? Turns out it's juicy since internal temp hit 180." Sometimes I'll add things in stages so the veggies don't cook as long as the meat or something. We also went out and got random metal trays from a thrift store so we can load small portions separately. But really being able to setup the oven and just let the timer handle it is the bees knees. The one single con is just because a roast or bird CAN fit doesn't mean it SHOULD fit. If the fan is running and fatty meat is too close to the element you can get smoke from the fat. Which could also happen in a regular oven, it's just more noticeable in an air fryer oven. So only a small family roast, no holiday roasts or turkeys.

I can second this. I upgraded to a ninja foodi XL about 2 years ago, and its used literally 5-6 times a day by the household.

I have a Ninja Foodi air fryer that is still going strong after 5 yrs of usage and it is still geting use multiple times a week.

We have the Ninja Foodi oven style one. It's great and it's large enough to cook small meals.

I just got mine last year after my instant pot went kaput and I love it! I was without an oven for thanksgiving and I roasted a chicken in it!

My first foodie lasted 4 years, 2nd one 1 year 😔

I have a Ninja Foodi that has been my primary device for years, bought one of these to combo with it as I couldn't pass up the pricing, and I actually use it more often my Ninja now! Of course there are certain functions that only my Foodi is capable of, but when it comes to plain ol' air frying the Gourmia is great

Ninja Foodi, used multiple times a week since April of 2020

Okay so ignore me if this is out of budget. Get rid of the slow cooker and instant pot and get the ninja foodi. It has an air fryer, slow cooker, and instant pot settings. Frees up some space and you have a gadget that does all of them.

I have a Ninja Foodi and I use it a lot! It has an air fryer, pressure cooker, steamer etc and I use most of the functionality it has and it saves me so much time!

I have the same one - I love it!

I have an air fryer oven. It’s a Ninja foodi 10 in 1. I cook all kinds of stuff, but fish mostly. I had a Cuisinart that broke, a hamilton beach i replaced it with and burned my hand on really bad and took it back instantly. The Ninja has been the best.

I just got the ninja foodi xl pro air fryer toaster oven. It’s incredible. Air fry’s nice, roasts nice, toasts nice. Can do 2 racks for anything but toast obviously, so fries and wings. I’ve had it only a month, but so far it’s pretty top gear.

The foodi is the best!

Check out the Ninja Foodi. We love ours. Makes perfect rice and so much more. Insta pot/pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker and rice cooker all in one. The only downside is it’s kinda big because of the extra air fryer lid. The pressure lid is always attached. Also the pot is dishwasher safe and is more ceramic like. Makes better rice than a rice cooker and better pulled pork than a slow cooker.

I'm dehydrating strawberries in mine right now and already have had to remind myself it isnt an option three times. That thing is in use constantly! My favorite thing to do is freeze (unbaked) cookies and muffins. When kiddo or I want them, I jusy toss them in our air fryer (ninja foodi 10 in 1) and we have fresh baked treats 10 minutes later!

I agree. Our big oven took a dive, but when I saw I could convection roast a whole chicken in this thing, I went for it. Haven’t even looked at the oven in three months. Got rid of the Gourmia air fryer and my toaster and couldn’t be happier. It does everything, and well.

We love ours. Versatile. Cooks well.

With Dawn, the basket and tray clean up well. The crumb tray slides out and the bottom opens (when flipped up) for cleaning access. Does it clean up each time to original condition? No. It’s a functional oven where heat and fat mix, so it will looked used. Not the same as dirty. Long way of saying depends on your kitchen OCD level.

I have one. It's been such a help and great with limited counter space in our small apartment. I can see why people are talking about the pain to clean BUT I have so far used parchment paper every time we use the air fry/bake settings. I got this to replace my old toaster and to not have to but a second appliance (air fryer). Is been his to us so far.

Not BIFL but Ninja Foodi took an absolut beating from us. It's slowing down but considering how much use we've got out of it I am damn impressed.

We use ours literally everyday. Prob like 6 years too. I find it takes a while to heat up now it's on its way out but we rely on this so much.

Yeah, this is weird - Ninja in the US has always said the opposite and people recommend them highly for that reason. I can even feel that mine are not like non-stick pans, it's definitely ceramic and not fully non-stick. I wonder if something changed, or if this is one of the things Europe/UK have less health restrictions compared to the US? We have a huge movement of objects being healthier for us, including pans and bakeware made without these chemicals. I feel like I mainly see the PTFE/PFOA-free pans compared to those with, now, even in cheap places like Walmart.

I vote slow cooker because most things you make in one reheat well and often taste better as the days go by. I have three air fryers, one is a Ninja Foodi which functions as an air fryer, pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker. It does a great job air frying and pressure cooking, but leaves a lot to be desired as a slow cooker and yogurt maker because it gets too hot. I also have an Instant Pot I use a lot, but not as a slow cooker, it’s just not the same.

Second the ninja foodie. I use mine all the time and the air fry function is great.

Ninja Foodi - probably not as good/convenient as a dedicated air fryer for the actual air frying part, but it can also sauté/simmer, slow cook, pressure cook, steam air fry (good for chicken breasts so don’t dry out), dehydrate and apparently 8 other functions but I’ve not used them lol. Makes for a very useful gadget! Negative is it’s a pretty big unit of a thing, so storage can be an issue. Also the lid flips open so you need room above to be able to open it which may limit where you can use it if you have cupboards above all your sides.

I have the ninja speedi. We use it for so many things, air frying, proofing and baking bread, steaming veggies, I've even used the dehydrate setting to dehydrate fruit. We use it daily. Mine did break outside of warranty and I immediately ordered a new one, same brand and model. Edit to add: I have a few friends who have the ninja foodi and really love that too. I've read a lot of reviews on the two models. It seems the speedi has a slightly better air fry feature, but the foodie has a pressure cooker setting, so it depends on what people are looking for. I know some who really love their regular ninja air fryer as well. If I was in the market for a new air fryer I'd honestly check out the ninja ones, they really do seem to make a product worth investing in.

Yes! I have the same one and it’s honestly been such a game changer - poke some holes in a potato and toss it in the microwave for 7 minutes then roll in a little oil and salt then 8 minutes in the air fryer (flip halfway) and it’s better than a restaurant baked potato. Frozen veggies? Toss them in the air fryer. Baked chicken thighs? Into the air fryer they go. I love the ninja because it’s the toaster oven shape (as well as being a toster oven) my sister has a non-ninja “bowl” type and I specifically got mine because I knew I would never use the other kind. I’m getting ready to upgrade to a larger ninja that can fit a whole roast chicken and I’m more excited than I thought I would be 😂

Had a PowerXL one that worked great for about 5 years of near daily use before it bit the dust last year. Got a Ninja Foodi to replace it and have been pretty happy with it. I really like that it folds away when not using it to save on counter space and that its big enough to make a meal for the whole family.

It’s amazing honestly I love it it has so many options, 2 racks, a light, half way turnover timer, tons of cooking options such as baking, roasting, broiling etc. it also doesn’t have PUFAS/ PFAS or whatever all that stuff everyone is concerned about. The top rack also doubles as a cooling rack. It’s a bit of a pain to clean but that’s the same thing with most air fryers since they need ventilation holes in the surfaces to effectively circulate the hot air. The window is nice to be able to see your food. It’s a pretty nice size, enough to put enough food for 2 adults and 2 kids. It also comes with a cool little laminated air frying guide that shows about 60 different foods and how long to cook them for, what temp etc. it’s definately better than your typical chef man and lower end fryers priced at this range but if you’re looking for something a bit nicer around $120 I recommend the ninja foodie.

I've got gifted Ninja Foodie which can air fry and do a bunch of other stuff. I only use it for the other stuff (like baking, toasting, or pizza) because it's a pain to clean up after frying. For that stuff, I still use the old cheap air fryer I bought years ago off Amazon with a plain square non-stick pull out basket drawer and 2 manual dials (temp and timer) for controls. It continues to do the job well. Couldn't tell you the name. Never cared. Point is, don't overthink it. A dedicated purpose-built air fryer is the way to go for anything greasy or messy.

I’ve had a Ninja Foodi for years. Usually more than £100 but think you can get manufacturer refurbs off of eBay for close to that price. It’s more than just an air fryer. It also has pressure cooker, sauté, roast, dehydrate as well as other functions I don’t use. Best use for me is for sausages, can get up in the morning, chuck them in there for 13 minutes and they’re done without having to tend to them. Also use the pressure cooker for curries, and you can brown the meat in there first before switching to pressure. Mrs even used it to dehydrate orange slices to make her own Christmas wreathes. We wouldn’t be without it.

The Ninja Foodi and Cosori Pro are two of the best air fryers for even cooking, large capacity, and versatility. Instant Vortex Plus is another great choice with multiple functions like roasting and dehydrating. If you want something high-end, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is excellent.

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone for multi-cooking, Cosori Pro LE for a compact design, Instant Vortex Plus for versatility, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for premium features, and Philips Premium XXL for large portions.

Top air fryer picks include Ninja Foodi Dual Zone for multi-cooking, Cosori Pro LE for compact efficiency, Instant Vortex Plus for versatility, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for premium features, and Philips Premium XXL for large portions.

I bought a Ninja Foodi on sale for $189 and it lasted 4 years until the lights wouldn't come on in it anymore. It still fried and toasted at least 2 times a day everyday though. So we bought the same model again since the lights are not replaceable. Not technically BIFL, but we think it is worth every penny and inch of counterspace it takes up.

Ninja foodi is my holy grail. I’ve had it for 5 years. I do everything with it. I couldn’t recommend a better one. Super plus is you can remove the cooking basket and wash it. It’s not connected to plastic. Easy to clean. Lots of function. Pressure cooking, baking, dehydrating, slow cooker, air fryer. List goes on.

I think it depends what style you buy. My mom had a toaster oven type one and I don’t like it as much as my own. Plus gotta wait for it to preheat. I have a ninja foodie that doesn’t need to preheat and it’s what started getting me to cook more. However, cleaning it is a bitch so there might be that regret.

I have a ninja foodi that’s like an air fryer plus a small oven plus a toaster oven (does some other stuff I don’t use too). I use it almost every day. Sometimes I use it multiple times a day. It preheats essentially immediately, so anything that can fit in it (which includes most frozen pizzas) goes in it instead of the real oven. It makes cooking feel like less of a commitment.

yeah, the ninja foodie is Teflon free and it air fries, slow cooks, sous vides, it's like a 12 in 1 gizmo, I love mine.

I recently bought the Cosori Pro 2 and it completely blew my ninjas out of the water. I had a Ninja Foodi and the Ninja AF101 and Dual Zone (endless cycles of upgrading and gifting to friends who didnt have an air fryer). Got a Cosori as an extra air fryer. It was $48 on clearance at walmart due to the red color not being very popular. The Cosori performs better than the Ninja in a very key aspect, the removable basket design. Since the sides are also detachable from the overall basket, they can add vents to the side of the basket. This allows the circulation of air to the underside even if the basket is completely full. Ninja's removable plate design would always result in a soggy underside if I overfilled due to the air being unable to circulate. In a scenario where both are half empty, they perform the same - slight edge to the Ninja.The removable basket vents no longer makes me afraid of just dumping a bag of fries This is not worth selling your Ninja and buying a new Cosori. These downfalls can be easily solved by preheating, shaking or simply not overfilling. But it's nice to just set it and forget it And just a preference, I infinitely prefer cleaning the dual basket than trying to remove a hot plate from the bottom
